Re: [Replicant] signal app
Hi Fil, If I remember correctly Signal uses Google Cloud Messaging or other similar Google service for push messages. Thus it depends on the non-free Google Play services. That's the reason why it isn't available on F-Droid. Furthermore Signal is a centralized service, with all clients connecting to the same server, operated by the Signal developers. The server software, although free software, does not allow for federation. I strongly advise you to use Conversations ( https://f-droid.org/app/eu.siacs.conversations https://conversations.im/ ) instead. It is a XMPP client with support for encryption (OMEMO) and push messages. XMPP is a federated messaging protocol that allows anyone to run it's own server, much like email. XMPP now has an extension for push messaging, directly from the server to the client, with no need to rely on proprietary Google services. Many community-run servers support that already: https://compliance.conversations.im For the PC you can use Gajim: https://gajim.org/ Regards, David On October 15, 2019 8:03:33 PM GMT+01:00, Fil Lupin wrote: >Hello, >I read again a bit about Signal app and the license is GPLv3 for client >and AGPLv3 for server. >However, this app use servers with a (very) few metadata (day of last >connection, but not who interact with you). >I wondered how you feel about using this app considering privacy. > >About Signal : >https://theintercept.com/2015/11/12/edward-snowden-explains-how-to-reclaim-your-privacy/ > >Cheers, > >- Fil Lupin. ___ Replicant mailing list Replicant@osuosl.org https://lists.osuosl.org/mailman/listinfo/replicant
Re: [Replicant] [Replicant 6.0] Ethernet patches: call for testing images.
Hello, The Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 Rom was tested as well: https://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1889#note-17 Should we push the espresso ethernet patch now that we confirmed that the images boot? If so, I'm pretty sure we could close #1889. -Kurtis Kurtis Hanna: > Hello, > > You mention a README.txt file but I don't see it. > > Someone did test to make sure the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 boots with your Rom > and they said they can also test the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1: > https://redmine.replicant.us/issues/1889#note-14 > > In Solidarity, > Kurtis > > Denis 'GNUtoo' Carikli: >> Hi again, >> >> The following devices are affected by the Ethernet patch serie: >> - The Galaxy Note II (N7100) >> - The espresso devices: >> - Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 >> - Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 WiFi >> - Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 >> - Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 WiFi >> - The Galaxy Note 8.0 >> >> As I don't have any of theses devices (yet), I wasn't able to test if >> they boot fine. >> >> However I built test images for them that I pushed online[1]. >> >> The README.txt that present in that directory has everything that >> should be needed inside: >> - It enables you to check the images.

[Replicant] signal app
Hello, I read again a bit about Signal app and the license is GPLv3 for client and AGPLv3 for server. However, this app use servers with a (very) few metadata (day of last connection, but not who interact with you). I wondered how you feel about using this app considering privacy.
